New Business-- Jerry Davis reports that we have recurring bills for operation of the club website that occur mostly during the summer time when we don't have business meetings to authorize payments, meaning that he has to pay these hundreds of dollars and wait many months for reimbursement. Motion by Tom Goforth, WY7TG, to authorize treasurer to pay these bills for website maintenance when they are submitted. Second by Jim S, WX7G. MOTION PASSED
--President Rogers announced that she will pass out certificates at the Snowbird Field Day to those who were deemed Honorary Members at the last business meeting.
--Vice President Towers asked that we have a good succession plan to keep the leadership of the club going, that we would be benefited to have someone step up to fill the vice-president and secretary positions. When leaders are not relieved and stay in office too long they get burned out, so, please give serious thought how YOU can serve by stepping up to fill the vacancies that will soon exist. If we don't have officers in place, the club suffers. Also we need to plan to get younger people involved in radio and the club.
Drawings: 50/50 – $17 won by Hugh, KL7HM, and donated back to club.
